### Decimal Placement Conventions

The following statements refer to metric measurements where the maximum number of decimal places is 6. For standard measurement (inches), the maximum number of decimal places is seven.

Please note the following information about decimal place conventions for constructed features:

- All vectors (i_vect, j_vect, k_vect) are represented by a maximum of six places to the right of the decimal.

- All lengths and distances (x_cord, y_cord, z_cord, diam, height, length, etc.) are represented by a maximum of six places to the right of the decimal.

- All angles are represented by a maximum of six places to the right of the decimal.

- If the decimal place is zero, then the number is represented as an integer.

You can change the decimal places through the Dimension tab (F5) in the Setup Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Setup). If you set the decimal place limit, PC-DMIS inserts a DISPLAYPRECISION command in the Edit window. All features that follow this command conform to the specified number of decimal places.
